 aspiration to control our destiny together.   At noon, Pacific Time, we 
 will join many others across the US in singing Woody Guthrie’s “This 
 land is your land, this land is my land.”  We join together across this 
 nation, stand side by side for our Occupations to tax the rich and the 
 corporations, so we can sustain democracy.\n\nThe San Francisco event will 
 feature individuals and members of area choruses (Rockin’ Solidarity 
 Labor Chorus, Vukani Mawethu, La Pena, World Harmony Chorus and others),

 and chorus members will participate. This event will be videotaped by 
 Archive Productions Inc. Coordinated by Max Ventura.\n\nOther events in New 
 York, Palo Alto, Eugene, Ft. Lauderdale, Tallahassee, Sarasota, Dallas, and 
 Vermont.  In San Francisco, participants from the iMatter March will end 
 their march at SF Earth Day and join us at the Main Stage for the sing. 
 Videotaped performances from around the country will be used to create a 
 montage of the events.\n\nWikipedia tells us Woody Guthrie, born 100 years 
 ago this July 14, wrote “This land is your land”  in response to “God 
 Bless America,” which he thought was not only unrealistic, but also 
 complacent.  In fact, in 1944, he sang:\n\n    As I went walking I saw a 
 sign there\n    And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."\n    But on the 
 other side it didn't say nothing,\n    That side was made for you and 
 me.\n\nAnd\n\n    Nobody living can ever stop me,\n    As I go walking that 
 freedom highway;\n    Nobody living can ever make me turn back\n    This 
 land was made for you and me.\n\n    In the squares of the city, In the 
 shadow of a steeple;\n    By the relief office, I'd seen my people.\n    As 
 they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,\n    Is this land made for 
 you and me?\n\nEmail Hali Hammer at  halih@yahoo.com for further
